I'm getting often wi-fi drop outs throughout the day and the only way to fix it is by restarting the router?!
Restarting the phone doesn't work
Turning off/on the wi-fi doesn't work
Switching bands doesn't work
yet it still allows connection to BTFON/BT OPENZONE? But won't connect to my broadband.
It's kind of annoying, because on the status bar it shows that it's still on wifi but going into settings and turning it off/on then shows it's not working. As it won't connect to the internet obviously.
Anybody else getting this? Any fixes?!
Thanks.
I have an issue where it just briefly drops the connection and reconneca, sometimes it is connected but can't access internet unless I cycle wifi.
I am on the Optus, Australia S3.
I have tried it on both my access points, it can't sustain a Skype call-keeps choking up-I am hoping a new kernel or custom ROM may help-tried Omega, but had barely any phone signal.
I have sleep set to never, have tried 2.4GHz only....a bit annoying, but Ireckon it should be sorted soon. It is the only issue I have.

Try changing the security type of your router. It's often better to pub less encrypted seucurity. For instance try removing security completely for a few min and see if the problem carrys one. Then it means the problem is from the security of your router and then change the type of security to something different than it was before and should fix it. good luck

Hmmm i just changed it from WPA2 only too WPA & WPA2.. seems to be working at the moment.
I'll report back later.
Is it a bug that it doesn't support WPA2 or something?

My S3 has no problems with my O2 wireless access point (provided by BeThere), but I'm using WPA/WPA2 rather than WPA2
You are in UK as well, are you on Orange and using the "Your Wifi" app to manage the access to free BT hotspots?
No wifi issue get it exchanged.

Oh No it's not a bug! Some times different routers are not well at making a steady connections with certain devices through high encryptions. As you remarked the problem is not an issue incase of connecting to BTOpenzone and yes pretty much. This problem can often be solved without the need of even purchasing a new router. Simply head over to your router's setting page (should be something like 192.168.xxxxxx) then see if it's possible to upgrade your router's firmware.
See this link, maybe it will give you an idea of what I'm taking about

I'm assuming you're using a bt homehub of some sort?
I'm using a bt homehub 3 and I've been getting constant drop outs when downloading files over wifi.
I tried a lot of different fixes and was clsoe to throwing the phone out of the window lol
What seems to have solved the drop outs for me is using wpa instead of wpa2.
Try a factory reset?
I'm also on a BT Homehub and i haven't had a single problem, i did a factory reset as soon as i got the phone to prevent any issues.

Hmm are you typing with auto-correction on?
If you mean WPA2-PSK (WPA2 with password), then I can confirm that this works.
I have a similar issue with my 'O2' router (rebranded Thompson 585 V7) and have WPA+WPA2 (WPA-PSK Encryption) setup.
All devices in my home (laptops & Ipod Touch's) have no problems, but my new Hero continually fails to get an IP address. Seems to connect OK but then continualy cycles therough 'Obtaining address'... 'failed'.... 'Obtaining address'!
It did successfully connect once for about 20 mins, but after a phone off/on, has gone back to failing.
I'll experiment further, but may have to return the device

I'm still waiting for my hero, so I might be wrong. But according to the manual, the hero can only handle WEP encryption on WiFi. WPA/WPA2 are not supported. I think, for the hero to work on WiFi, you must change the encryption on your router either to WEP or to unsecure.

I tried WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK with my Hero and they definitely work. Sorry, mate ;-)
If the OP wants some help he needs to post some useful data about his setup and what works and what does not work.
I can confirm it works for wpa2-psk and PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2
Wi-FI is not working with secure network
Hi
I had same problem with BT Home Hub2 all i did was a soft rest and it worked and had no more problems so try soft resetting you routor
Well, as posted earlier, despite several hours of every possible combination of settings and factory resets, I can't get my Hero to use my WiFi (WPA+WPA2, WPA-PSK Encryption).
I have seven other devices that have no problems at all (I configured them all), so I'm assuming it's an issue with the Hero. Therefore, it's going back to it's supplier.

Yep it may well be a faulty one if its from a store try get them to test it if they can if not the get the new one home and try again you might also wont to try it on someone else wifi see if it works on theres. Also it might be that the amount of device conected to it may be causing a problem on first time setup, you could try it on its own then let other device connect to route worth a try
You should bear in mind that sometimes certain devices just don't get on. Someone posted here earlier with a similar issue, and they found changing their router from the Orange supplied box to another one "fixed" their issue.

I found problems connecting my Hero to our Belkin N1 Vision ADSL Modem/Router using WPA2-Personal.
In the end it turned out that re-enabling the option to broadcast the SSID solved the problem. For some reason creating a connection manually to a network which does not brodcast caused the issue for me.

So there is a generic advice, run your wifi in a standard-compliant mode. Broadcast SSID and turn off all the vendor-specific "turbo mode" and "extra-long/short" packets crap.
Problem with wpa2 enterprise
I am not able to connect to wifi at work.
We use wpa2-enterprise with PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAPv2 and broadcast SSID.
Hero detects wifi network with incorrect security. It displays: "(network SSID) secured with WEP". When I tap on it it asks for WEP hex key...
I tried to add wpa2-enterprise network manually. It says "not in the range" and keeps offering me the above one with wrong security...
any ideas?
wifi works fine on other phones
Hi guys, in this days i have noticed a problem with my gsII.
Sometimes I have the gsII connected to my router but internet connection doesn't work.
I'll try to explain better what i mean... I start wifi on my gsII and use internet connection without problem. Then I set the phone in standby mode leaving wifi on. When after a while i want to use internet connection, it doesn't work. The telephone is still connected to my router but i can't use internet on the phone.
The only way to make internet connection work is to disable wifi e then reactivate it.
This is really frustrating....
I've got the telephone from three months but only now I'm noticing this problem because first I used to disable the wifi and activate it only when i need it.
Am I the only to have this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks to everyone in advance... any help would be appreciated
A video is more than thousands of words, so this is an "example video" of the bug:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4um-AqLk1jw
Test it with a different router, i.e. Cisco E4200.
It would a good idea but i have to buy a new router or go to some friend's house for 2-3 hours. I'll keep this idea in my mind thanks
I have this problem, mines a bt home hub v3. Don't think its the router I blame the phone. I have to restart phone to make it connect with ability to use internet

I do not know what " standby mode" is? I have the same phone and have no problems with wifi. The phone goes to sleep when I do not use it and awakes when I use it.
It seems that your phones wifi is sleeping and not waking up. I always turn it off when not using it anyway. Not the full answer but it works for me.

For me the Wifi would work perfectly at first and then after the phone had been left for a while I would try to use it and get 'no connection' type errors. Sometimes it would even stop working even if I just waited too long with the phone still on in my hand.
I found that if I either disabled router wifi security or set it to WEP the problem disappeared. The issue occurred on 2.3.3. My router is a DLink one fyi. I have yet to test 2.3.4 which came out yesterday in Sweden. Ill let u know.

I tried changing the channel also. I have heard others getting this to work. Didn't work for me. You can use Wifi Analyser app on phone to find a clear channel and see how u go changing your router perhaps?
I tried re flashing also using factory restore. No fix for me.
Also noticed that u can sometimes get phone to work by toggling Network Data on/off. Not really fun either.
The wifi channels and security settings I am talking about are settings in the router not the phone. What wifi security are you using in your router?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I am not a believer the router is at fault in any case. I would entertain an incompatibility but nothing more.
Original router and security settings work fine for...wait for it...an iphone 3gs and a Motorola Defy (yes the phone which seems to have issues with doing everything else!)
Either way an incompatibility is not acceptable either if that's what it is

I know this, and in fact i have to switch off and on wifi connection when this happens.
Now i'm trying to use channel 5 with the router ( but yesterday I've tested channel 6 and 13 without any result)
I hate this bug because beacause it happens only when he wants! I'm quite sure that assistance wouldn't solve the problem. A friend of mine has changed three gsII and said that every gsII that he has changed had this bug!
Ps: Another question.... How often do you have this bug?
Once a week? Once a day? Three times a day?

i have the same problem reported in the 1st post.
i have been turning wifi off and then on again for a quick fix until now but i think the solution might be to drop the security on the router from WPA to WEP. Haven't tried it yet tho, because it doesn't bother me that much.
I had an ipad previously (before i had the SGS2) and it had exactly the same behaviour. I looked up the problem then and found a FAQ from the ISP that mentioned a compatibility problem between ipad and that router, so their suggestion was to set the router to WEP only.

For me it happens always after the phone comes back from stand by with wifi on.
steps to reproduce:
1-turn wifi on, and check it's connected and working
2-press power button to turn off screen
3-turn phone back on, try to access a new web page, it doesn't work
I noticed that while it's in stand by i will still receive email notifications so it probably only looses the connection when i turn it on again.
Also, if there was some program working (say, a download) when i went into standby it will probably still be transferring when it comes out of stand by, it's just the new connections that fail.
Any input on this isue will be helpful. I'm on sprint new OTA 4.0.4 sense 4.1..the issue was going on before and after the update meaning i got NO FIX with the update.
If the vid stops during play back just refresh the page.
Thanks in advance.

I was told by HTC that is issue was fixed. So when I was still having the Wifi disconnecting and reconnecting I contacted HTC again. After all the standard Troubleshooting tips (like Soft reset and Power Off) I was told to do a Factory reset. I ended up doing it and it has fixed my problem. My WiFi connection has stayed strong since. Also I installed an app called "Hidden Settings" by Derek R Reynolds (Free in the play store) this app was made for the HTC One series phones. In that menu there is an option "Put Data connection to Sleep" which turns data connection off while the screen is off. this is checked by default so uncheck that option. I've included a screenshot of that menu. Also after Factory resetting my phone on the newest OTA my phone has been running a lot better (smoother and faster). I know it's a hassle, but it might help you out.

You might have a bad phone then.
its very odd that the phone can connect to my neighbors router...but not mine...i would think if the wifi antenna was bad it wouldnt connect to any wifi at all....SMH..i guess i'll take it in to the sprint store.
Maybe it's your router

maybe your router is trying to issue an ip address that is already in use by another device. Go in to the wireless settings/advanced and try to set the ip manually. See if that helps
For Some reason my router will assign xxx.xxx.xxx.22 to my phone and I have it set to automatically get an IP from the router. I don't have that many devices in my house on wireless so I don't know why it picked that number, but it is always that number. I also get a similar IP address at a buddies house with it ending in .22. Might be an HTC thing.
na i don't think its an "ip conflict"...its the way the phone is "seeing" the network..hence the drops according to wifi analyzer..the wifi network drops when the phone isnt even trying to connect...
Hi all! Yes, I'm a newbie. I am using HTC Amaze 4G from T-Mobile and with their ICS update, I have not been able to use Wifi... It is not hardware related problem: When I'm in the university, I can connect to the university Wifi without any problems; when I come home, even though I can see 20 networks available from my laptop, from my phone I cannot see any... I am wondering if I go for Custom Rom, can I solve this issue? (In that case, I think I need to read the forum a lot to learn all these )
Try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roamingsoft.manager
I have just tried this: When I use fix network, for a while it shows all possible available networks and then shows nothing. It just says Scanning and no networks are shown after the fixing.
It shows the available networks while exiting the airplane mode. And, in fact, even though it says so, my phone still remains in the airplane mode.

Are any of these 20 available WiFi connections in YOUR house? If not, maybe your computer just has a really strong wireless card compared to the chip in the Amaze so its picking stuff up further away. Try exiting

No I'm not using WiFi calling at the univ; but I need to use it at home bcs of my awful signal quality. Anyhow, I have checked and WiFi calling is disabled and no hotspots are available from my phone. And I still have the problem
At least 1 of them is from the wireless modem next to me
Here is a question is your wifi modem using wep type security or wpa? On my amaze it has a hard time picking up wep security routers (which is fine its crap security anyways) so change your router to WPA standard and see what happens. Good luck

WPA-PSK and the problem right now is not I cannot connect. My phone doesn't see any WiFi when I am at home.
With 20 networks all that close they may be interfering with each other. Try using a WiFi analyzer on your computer to change your router's channel or frequency.
Sent from my Amaze 4G using xda premium
That is quite possible but I wasn't having this issue before ICS update from T-Mobile. Still, I will try different channels just to be sure.
I have tried changing the channels but it didn't work neither. In fact, the weird thing is none of the networks are visible. I can see the list only when I am using Wifi Connection Manager's fix Wi-Fi Problems button and it is only for 1 sec. Then it's a clear list...
Today, I have seen that my phone is able to see the WiFis around but not near my apartment -- that's like a joke, isn't it? Somehow, when I'm close the apartment, I can't see any WiFis available. This might be because of interference as you suggested. But, it was working all fine before ICS update and right after the update, it started behaving this way. Any suggestions?

Does your nexus connect fine to other wireless networks? How can you blame it on the device instead of going and fixing your work network settings instead? There are no wifi issues. Call an IT guy and he will fix your router.

Interesting, I just read through a lot (more than I can believe) of that issue log. It sounds like its technically not a Google/Android 6.0 problem even though the problem arose with the upgrade to 6.0. Have you considered doing what Nick suggested and reaching out to your enterprise IT administrators at work to see if they can or plan to do the necessary updates?

Does your nexus connect fine to other wireless networks? How can you blame it on the device instead of going and fixing your work network settings instead? There are no wifi issues. Call an IT guy and he will fix your router.

Yeah it connects to others but all devices lollipop and older including iphone and blackberry connect fine. And its known that android m has issues connecting to some wifi that works fine with all other devices. If you do a quick search youll see basically all 6.0 devices (nexus 6, etc) have same issues once updated to 6.0 (hit or miss depends on network they try to connect to, but same story just fine before update). The IT dept are not going to change settings on their network that works fine with 99.9% devices that people have there, since im only one so far with a 6.0 device (IT request MAC address when you get pass) it obviously is some sort of security policy within the os or something of that nature

Interesting, I just read through a lot (more than I can believe) of that issue log. It sounds like its technically not a Google/Android 6.0 problem even though the problem arose with the upgrade to 6.0.

Yeah, they are hesitant to change what works for almost everyone that connects to it. Also i think itd be a good thing to work on since most IT admin wont change for the very few with newer devices
On a side note i do feel like its more or less a cop out of them to claim its not 6.0 fault because when push comes to shove it works fine but once 6.0 it doesn't and nothing changed on the network
When I had my Nexus 5X, I had issues connecting to WiFi at home until I used the Network Settings Reset option under Settings > Backup and Reset. I think this issue came from the restore of settings during initial setup. Possibly worth a try.
Still, the issue I'm running into now is that my 6P only connects to one of the two routers at home. I have both broadcasting the same SSID though they're different brands and one's an older G router. On my Moto X running 5.1, the phone would connect to the strongest signal. Seems the 6P will only connect to one and never connect to the other. I've had the phone "forget" that one and connected to the other and then it refused to connect to the original. Very odd.
My point in saying this is that I wonder if there's a similar issue occurring in the OP's office. Though the same SSID is being broadcast, its as if the phone remembers the MAC address of the specific router it originally connected to and refuses to connect to any others. Just a thought.

Have you tried turning on developer options, scroll down and turn on legacy dhcp client under networking.
Yeah, ive tried that also
the fix in this thread might work, if you're rooted.

Tell the IT dept to upgrade their radius auth
I'm also having WiFi connection issues with eduroam (an often used protocol in UK universities) amongst other including my home dual band ac network. It locks out and can only be resolved by a reboot, which then takes 30-60 seconds to power off. Not normal or 'just an admin' issue. It seems to be software related as it is not constant nor predictable (ie it's not in certain areas and a reboot always reconnects). I'm unconvinced by the 'speak to your network admin' argument as it is neither useful or realistic and incompatible on my current patterns of usage or the issues being reported more widely.
My 6p works fine on my wi-fi router at home, but when I go over to my son's house, I have to go into Advanced Wi-Fi options and change the frequency band from automatic to 2.4 GHz only. Then I have to cycle my wi-fi off and back on. Then it will work on his router. Otherwise, it with keep trying to connect and fail every time.

Yeah, these are the issues (including the issue im having) that im talking about. Theres clearly issues with wifi on 6.0. Its not an issue with the hardware, nor is the solution "buy a new router" or "must be the settings on your companys network" granted most people can connect everywhere they've tried but if they tried where we cant connect or have issues they'd have same problem. Im thinking its a problem due to security policies or something along those lines but we should be able to alter, remove, or opt out of them at our own risk. Just thinking out loud.
